This sort of conversation needs to find its way into the public discourse. Only by defining the problem can one solve it. The psychology of the ruling class must be described as this post does. The Emperor has no clothes and everyone needs to see the ruling class in the lens described. A dialogue must ensue to bring this terminology to the forefront of public discourse. Once a language and terminology is agreed to, then momentum will be right behind it.

Thank you for this exceptional elucidation of psychopathology!! As one who has worked in the field of psychology for 45 yrs. I've long felt a more sophisticated understanding of EVIL was necessary before any resistance to it could be mustered! We cannot fight an Enemy if we don't know it exists. Some additional resources:

Thanks. Scott Peck differentiated between mental illness and evil as well, and as I recall reading years ago he clearly noted the existence of and unique 'flavor' of actual evil.

Yes! M. Scott Peck's book "people of the Lie" explains this exactly. Another book he wrote "The Road Less Travelled" explains many of the issues we are dealing with today and exactly why. Definitely recommend them.

Must re-read. One one level - the here and now - it doesn't make that much difference as to the cause of the evil deeds - rather like you have a flat and no matter if it was a nail or screw - you just fix the flat.

Then you come to strategy and everything changes - you must discern the causes and supporting structures to predict and eventually dismantle it, all the while skillfully defending and countering it.

So true. Managed psychiatry practice for 12+ years. No support staff so I interacted with lots of people who met all the above criteria. Some people from old money in Charleston, senior judiciary, doctors. You name it. Most people don't have a clue how crazy our elites are ...

Then you add in the drugs, both prescribed and illicit, that's when we blow torch sanity out of orbit.

Sent the link to several people, one purpose being to let them understand that there is no 'debate,' logical reasoning or remote possibility for a decent exchange with these people. Witness their salt-in-the wound cruelty over Charlie Kirk's killing: their entire purpose is: prove your 'hypocrisy' to they feel superior; but more than that it is to hurt. Part of their whole game is that they can ONLY feel good when making someone else feel pain.

Evidence: look at their 'comedy.' Colber and all the rest have no humor other than in the insult or denigration of others, and in that they find amusement as they torment others. Therefore beware: knowing the motive enables one to make better decisions as to whether to engage at all, or how to best be mean right back.

Example: My daughter told me someone took offense at lowering the flag for Charlie because 'why was his life more important than any other?" Her response: "You have a point. Let's get rid of MLK day then."

But,and I'm putting an idea forward here,have THEY been aware for some time of the discontent building up so is this why they are seeking to focus the discontent onto another hate figure ie Mr Putin of Russia. Look over there, they are pointing,- the magicians old truck. They are focusing all the legitimate anger and discontent outwards. And successfully it seems to me. What I find most extremely bizarrely odd is that they totally ignore a despotic monster tyrant who is already killing whole populations and ignoring all national boundaries and international laws and telling us to be scared of a person who is not doing any of that,but might one day. Why dont we face up to the REAL monster not the shadow monster.

They relish in our discontent! And you are correct, they always say "but look over there". Always a distraction.

You could be right - maybe by tomorrow it will be "Russia Did It." Hoping - praying - too many people will be on to that, and there are a number who would be far happier to side with Russia than 'globohomo' anyway.

They don't ignore him. They send him more weapons & conduct surveillance for him so he can "finish the job."
